Michael Jackson Concert Tours on Trial

TMZ has learned ... Michael Jackson's weakened state during various concert tours throughout his life -- as well as preparations for the London concerts that never took place -- could become powerful evidence in the defense of Dr. Conrad Murray.

Sources connected with the criminal case tell TMZ ... there's "compelling evidence" that MJ was in weakened health whenever he went on tour. Specifically, people who went on various tours -- including the "Bad" and "Dangerous" concerts -- say Jackson was frequently "dehydrated, medicated, and sleep-deprived."

Just like with Dr. Murray, Jackson had a doctor who accompanied him during rehearsals and tours, attending to his needs.

The point ... the grueling concert schedules reduced MJ to a physical mess, prone to relying on and demanding drugs to sleep.

The "This Is It" London tour was especially grueling, because AEG added dozens of concert dates for Michael, who was already in an extremely weakened state and terrified he would fail.

All of this dovetails into a defense theory ... that Jackson felt enormous pressure to rehearse for the "This Is It" tour, and when he couldn't sleep he relied on Propofol to do the trick. The defense believes when Murray walked out of the room and Jackson woke up, he accidentally infused himself with a fatal dose of the drug out of frustration and fear.

"TMZ has learned ... Michael Jackson's weakened state during various concert tours throughout his life -- as well as preparations for the London concerts that never took place -- could become powerful evidence in the defense of Dr. Conrad Murray."

What utter rubbish!!!! How can that be powerful evidence?? What are they gonna do - sit in court and watch hours of tour footage, point their fingers and say "Oh yeah, he looks very weak there!"

That is NOT evidence, it is personal opinion. Come on TMZ, get a grip! Is this the best you can come up with 3 days before the next hearing?? :roll: :roll:

"Michael, I am here for you always. I give you my heart, my soul and I offer you my friendship."

Articles such as this simply make me wonder if MJ is behind them (in which case I trust he knows what he's doing) or if he isn't, in which case TMZ are seriously influencing Murray's court case (in Murray's favour).

1 Many have attempted to write about what had taken place among us. They received their information from those who had been eyewitnesses and servants of God’s word from the beginning, and they passed it on to us. I, too, have followed everything closely from the beginning. So I thought it would be a good idea to write an orderly account for Your Excellency, Theophilus. In this way you will know that what you’ve been told is true.

Everytime I read these TMZ articles, I can't help but think there is a double meaning to it, because most of the time, it is so ridiculous......

He didn't even begin the tour, besides it was not a "tour" but a series of concerts that were going to take place in one venue... :roll: A tour means moving from place to place, changing timezones, coping with jet-lags, sleeping in various hotels... Nothing like that here. Whom are they trying to fool...?

Please can anyone let me know what the concert photos are like? I cannot see them with the link - Does MJ look fragile as it is implied in the article? If not perhaps it is showing the contrast between what is alleged and what is reality

The photos are all of them of the most BADASS Michael on stage. Nothing fragile.

They seem to be paying more attention in handing out advice on what CM should do that they wrote the wrong tours under two of the pics.Two of the pics (that was stated on the comments area) say that no.7 and no.15 are listed as the wrong tours.

Poor Mike...look how fragile he looks. As if he can drop dead any minute :?

Seriously, what kind of defence is that? Even if he would have felt bad, couldn't sleep or whatever during the tours, he certainly didn't show it on stage. And indeed, London wasnt a tour, it was a show. 3 times a week on the same stage, in the same house, sleeping in the same bed. No problem for a healthy guy his age at all. So if they want to prove he was fragile and ill, this is certainly not the way.

Besides that, Jennifer Batten told us herself he was never drugged on stage, and she was with him during the BAD-, the Dangerous- and the HIStory tour. So more BS. I can't imagine this ever going to trial if this were all real. But all is possible since it is not real, so let's stay tuned...
